Thelikelihoodis that the tampon is going to the side of the cervix, so as the blood leaves the cervix it is only hitting the one side of the tampon - try different types of tampons, or better still consider softcups or menstrual cups.

∙ 9y agoIt is likely that your cervix is sitting low so the tampon is sitting to the side of the cervix. Thus as the blood leaves the cervix it's only going down one side of the tampon, and when full on that side it's leaking.

∙ 15y agoThis isn't anything to worry about, although it may indicate that you are using tampons that are too high in absorbancy for your menstrual flow. Try using one absorbancy lower.

∙ 9y agoThere is no medical concern from having blood on only one side of the tampon. Most often, it just means that the top of the tampon was on one side or the other of the cervix.

Is it normal for the discharge on your tampon to be on left side?
If a tampon has blood on only one side, it is never a cause for concern. It has no medical meaning.
Is it normal to only bleed on one side of your tampon after childbirth?
It can be normal if the tampon sits to one side of your cervix or if your vagina is such that the blood only leaks fdown one side of your vaginal canal so only hits one side of your vagina. If the whole tampon isn't getting saturated with blood then it's not safe to be wearing them as this will increase risk of TSS - with less blood to absorb the tampon will dry-out vaginal tissues on that side of the vagina more, causing increased damage that allows TSST-1 toxins easier access to your bloodstream. I recommend trying menstrual cups or softcups, these will solve this problem plus a lot safer and more convneient than tampons anyway so a much better option in general.
If you wear a tampon when you go swimming when you come out of the water will it still absorb the blood?
Answer Yes; there is nothing inherently wrong with wearing a tampon while you're swimming. It's possible (but unlikely) that if you are doing highly active things in the swimming pool and your bathing suit does not fit properly, you may have some water seep into your vaginal cavity and it will be absorbed by the tampon. The chances that the amount of water that the tampon absorbs would be enough to keep it from absorbing blood are incredibly small and you should not have to worry about it. I would check/change your tampon at least two hours after getting out of the pool just to be on the safe side; however, if you are in a social situation (such as a pool party) then put in a fresh one just before the party and you shouldn't have to worry about it too much. Bringing a spare is always a good idea, but your tampon will still work after getting in and out of the pool. Hope that answers your question! Answer On tampon packets and instructions, it generally says to put a new one in before swimming and put a new one in after swimming

Why do you get clear fluids on your panties through tampon?

Where does the tampon go in the genital area?
The tampon goes into the vagina, which is where the blood is coming from. If you don't know basic genital anatomy then you should not be using tampons as there is no way you know how to use tampons correctly or understand the risks involved in tampon use. Use pads for now and spend some time learning the basics of your anatomy before considering tampon use.
What is a tampon supposed to do?

How do you put a tampon in if you are a boy?
You can only use a tampon if you're menstruating - if you're a boy you may menstruate, but only if you have a uterus and vagina (e.g. if you're a trans boy). If you're a cis boy then there's absolutely no reason for you to be using tampons and nowhere for you to put a tampon as you don't have a vagina. So in short, if you are a boy you do not put a tampon in at all.

Dose a tampon ill up if you are laying down?
Yes, tampons still fill-up while you're laying down - due to gravity less blood flows down into the tampon, thus one reason why tampons shouldn't be worn overnight as it would be like wearing too high an absorbency, but blood will still flow.
What is the difference between a sport tampon and a regular tampon?
Sport tampons open in a cylinder shape and open all around when inside you where as a regular tampon is one that opens only width wise. Sport tampons tend to leak very very little where as normal ones leak quite frequently :)
